I saw two people last week ....one of whom was pitched IV stem cells by a nurse practitioner at a nationally franchised "regenerative medicine" clinic (because the cells will "know" where to go!!!) The second patient read about IV stem cells on a local regenerative medicine clinic's website. What is the truth?
Cells get trapped in the lung as the vascular tree gets smaller. This "first pass" effect is not a new discovery....it is known human biology for at least 35 - 40 years if not longer. With regards to any cellular therapy.....there have been lots of publications documenting the 95+ % first pass effect in which cells injected IV are trapped in the lungs....they don't make it back to your knee....they don't go to your spine....they stay in your lungs....so if you have a lung problem that really is the only reason to pay for an IV stem cell injection (once there is evidence that it a good treatment...) Anyone selling IV stem cells in regenerative medicine is a fraud at this point.
